Module: Recent Messages

Hi Maurice,

according to structuring the language file and charset support I attach new german languages files in ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8. Please add them to the next release of your module.

Regards
Oliver

mmakaay: removed the translation file.
It is now part of the module package.

I have a question that might be not related to this module.

The module as it is works great, and I will implement it on my board, but I would like to add on each at the end of each subforum list page a short quick list of last 10 messages (as I am doing now here). I remember I used a code snippet by Brian (which was quite popular at the time of Phorum 3. that should be around - also for v5 - but couldnt find it)

I was thinking in adapt part of the code of this module, but was unable to make it work
Is it possible to adapt part of the code of this mod (if yes, how?) or is it better to use that old code made available by Brian (do you know which one I am talking about right?)

Thanks!

Diego

PS: Attached the spanish lang file

I'm not really sure about what piece of code you're talking here, but it should be possible to cook the functionality that you want in a module. The list of messages can be displayed from the "before_footer" hook, so it will appear at the bottom of the page. The code to nick from the recent messages module would be the call to phorum_db_get_recent_messages() and the code that is used to format the messages for displaying.

Thinking about it, it could be an addition to this module as a special feature. Yet another TODO item on my ever growing list ;-) Don't count on me implementing this on really short notice, but eventually I might.

For some reason {MESSAGE->recent_author} returns Anonymous User on all replies shown

First posts in topics come up with correct usernames


Ant help would be appreciated

I have no idea right now. In what view of the recent messages front end screen do you see this happen? (drop down settings). Or in any view where reply messages are shown too? Can your users post anonymously on your forums? Are these posting posted by such users?

No, Only registered users can post

Its on the main page without any settings being changed (I took away all the drop down boxes - could this of caused it?)

I don't know if it would really matter.
Try if the unchanged module code works.
If it does, then you found the villain (you ;-).
If it does not, then there might be something else going on.

I Have this message but I have not used "Readable Dates module" , is-it necessary to used-it ??

if it would be necessary it wouldn't be optional.
so, no, its not necessary.
